Hire employees in Spain without opening a company. Non-Schengen visas, Beckham Law structures, CBA classifications — we handle the complexity most providers escalate or decline.
WHAT IS AN EMPLOYER OF RECORD?
You hire. We handle everything else.
An employer of record is a company that becomes the legal employer of your workers. You hire them, direct their work, set compensation. We handle the employment contract, payroll processing, taxes, social security, and all compliance.
In Spain, an EOR provider must hold an ETT licence to operate legally — most global platforms don't.
Why Employer of Record works differently in Spain?
EOR works fine in countries with shallow employment law. Spain is not one of those countries. The gap between getting employment structure right and getting it wrong is not small — severance obligations, collective bargaining classifications, work permits for non-EU nationals, TGSS registration that impacts your costs. These aren't edge cases. These are decisions that get made at hire time.
Most global EOR platforms handle these with account managers working from a checklist. We handle them with lawyers. That's the difference. When your hire needs a Digital Nomad Visa, a Beckham Law tax structure, or a CBA classification that doesn't fit the template — those are the cases we built this service for. Not edge cases. Our standard cases.
Why choose Iberia Workforce for Employer of Record services in Spain?
We have the licence. Most EOR providers don't.
Spanish law requires an ETT licence to legally supply workers to a third party. We hold it. Global platforms don't. That difference matters.
We're built for Spain's legal complexity.
Non-Schengen visas for Chinese, Indian, and other non-EU nationals. Beckham Law tax structure. CBA classifications that don't fit the template. These aren't edge cases we escalate, they're what we're built for.

Monthly payroll processing with TGSS contributions (employer social security), IRPF withholding (income tax), and statutory deductions. All handled per Spanish tax law, not approximated from a global template.
CBA Classification
CBA Classification & Employment Contracts

Work Permits & Visa Support
Non-EU visas (HQP, Digital Nomad, standard work permits) handled in-house with our immigration lawyers. Not outsourced to a third party.
Termination Management
Severance & Termination Compliance
Spanish law requires justified termination. We structure exits to comply with notice periods, severance obligations, and unfair dismissal protections.
PRICING
Transparent pricing. No hidden costs.
Non-EU Work Permits
Custom Quote
No hidden costs.
HQP visas, Digital Nomad Visas, and standard work permits vary by nationality and visa category. We quote after assessing your specific case.
Why transparent pricing matters?
Spanish payroll costs are fixed by law (TGSS rates, IRPF withholding). The only variable is visa complexity. We tell you upfront what you're paying for.

Frequently asked questions
Is employer of record legal in Spain?
Yes. EOR is a recognised employment structure in Spanish law. The EOR provider must hold an ETT licence to operate legally. We do.
How does EOR work with Beckham Law in Spain?
Beckham Law (the 5-year flat 24% tax regime for new residents) and EOR can work together, but they require careful structuring. Your employment contract and tax residency status must align to protect Beckham eligibility. We ensure that from day one.
Can you handle HQP and Digital Nomad Visas?
Yes. HQP (Highly Qualified Professional) visas and Digital Nomad Visas are increasingly common. We handle the visa application, manage payroll compliance, and ensure ongoing documentation requirements are met throughout the visa term.
How quickly can I hire someone in Spain?
EU nationals with standard documentation: 5–10 business days. Non-EU nationals with work permits: longer, depending on visa category and how fast the administration processes. We give realistic timelines upfront.
What about severance in Spain? Is my hire at risk?
Spanish law requires justified termination. Unfair dismissal claims can be costly. We structure employment from hire to potential exit to protect you. If termination is challenged, we have lawyers to defend it.
Do you handle remote work across borders?
If your employee is based in Spain, Spanish law applies. If they're remote outside Spain, different rules apply depending on their location and visa status. Tell us the scenario and we'll clarify before hire.
Who is Iberia Workforce? What's your legal structure in Spain?
Iberia Workforce operates as an ETT-licensed employer of record in Spain. We are based in Barcelona and part of Connect Group. Employment services are delivered through an in-house legal structure backed by a Spanish law firm with 30 years of employment law experience.
